Toggle the preference to windows, then back to tabs. If it starts working again, this is a known/reported bug.

this new tab behavior sucks so much and will probably keep me from updating - that single close tab button was TEH feature that keept me from migrating to safari/camino!

I hate it to waste so much movements and attention-span to close tabs. the fact that the position of the close buttons on the tabs changes everytime I close a tab is annoying and constantly demands to change the focus of attention away from the content to the ui. sucks!

my typical usage pattern is as follows: I go to a site, say google news, click a dozen of links that load as tabs. then I read one after the other and close them with one click. no mouse-movement necessary, no reassessing of where is what on the screen.

I understand that some people prefer the close button on the tab, but please make it an option to have the old behavior!!!!

please keep the !'s and "suck"s and "TEH"s to a minimum. people who type in a manner that is perceived as yelling, or as if they have not taken their medication, will be labeled as screaming banshees, and you don't want that brought on yourself. i know the close buttons on tabs are bad. but have a coke and a smile before you post here.

The part I miss the most is the "new tab" button on the left, still. it seems so much more appropriate to have it on the tab bar than some other random bar, and there isn't always any room to doubleclick, or it's 2 pixels wide and you have to carefully point the mouse.

That's if you have autohide turned on. To me (just me) autohide would only be a nuisance.

there was never a new tab button on the tab bar

Don't you think this is a disingenuous way of saying "we used a different name for nearly the same application back when we had the tab button on the tab bar"?

Sorry about the "double post." For some reason I thought I was in 2 different subforums and that they were different enough that I could mention the same thing in two otherwise different posts. Nevermind that that makes no sense, but it's what I was thinking at the time, and it was wrong to do.

i think you are confused as to the definition of an opinion. saying "there used to be a new tab button on tab bar" is not an opinion. that would be a statement of fact, albeit wrong. an opinion would be like "the button is good." "the button is bad." "the button exists" is not an opinion. don't worry. most people get confused between opinions and wrong statements of fact. it happens all the time.
